Want 96 hours with Michael Bublé in Qatar? Well, not 96 actual hours with Michael Bublé, but 96 hours in Qatar where he’s playing his debut performance to a crowd of 2,300 people. And one of those could be you as Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia have buddied up (bubbléd up?) to take 12 lucky agents to see The Voice himself in Doha this May.
You might think of Qatar as a stopover destination filled with historic sites, natural wonders, and gorgeous accommodation (at a brilliant price). But there’s so much more on offer, as you learnt last year with Visit Qatar’s Surprise Yourself campaign.
One area that surprises visitors is the international talent Qatar attracts. Grammy award-winning Michael Bublé is joining the line-up of other icons who’ve graced Doha’s stages, like John Legend, BTS, Swedish House Mafia, the Backstreet Boys, and more.
To celebrate the enhanced partnership between Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia, they’ve teamed up for this epic trade prize.
The concert deets
Set to deliver an “unforgettable showcase of soul-stirring ballads, smooth jazz-infused melodies, and Bublé signature charm”, the man, the myth, the legend is performing on 23 and 24 May this year.
The wows won’t just come from Michael Bublé; the concert is at Al Mayassa Theatre in the state-of-the-art Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC). With a sense of intimacy and sublime acoustics, Al Mayassa is ideal for big-band sounds that’ll sweep you off your feet.
What you’ll win
If you’re one of the lucky 12 agents who walks away with this epic prize, you’ll fly Qatar Airways to Doha for 96 hours of heaven!
Winners will enjoy Economy class return flights from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney to Doha, plus three nights’ accommodation, and tickets to see Michael Bublé be his most Bublést.
